La Mère de la mariée

I usually like light rom-com movies but this one was not all that great. The setting were it took place was beautiful but the movie didn't use enough of it. I thought the acting in this was very wooden and some of the dialog was so cringe worthy. Booke Shileds looked really good for her age of being almost 60 but, something about her eyebrows really bugged me. Benjamin Bratt as a 60 year old is still very cute. I know this was suppose to be a comady but I didn't laugh at any of it. I was glad to see Star Trek: Discovery's Wilson Cruz in the movie. I think he is a good actor. The movie was only good for a one time watch and I would never watch it again. It's a type of move for when your bored and don't have anything else to watch.

This movie is nothing special one tipical romantic comedy movie that fallows two couple stories that are connected, but it is mostly focused on second chance trope. It has great cast but some dialogues and scenes feel like they were suddenly cut. A lot of different stories were started then cut out of nowhere and where replaced but new/old ones. Too many stories have been started and wanted to tell but none of them have been told properly. There are some cringe dialogues and because of that you cannot feel the chemistry between the actors. The last scene should be done better and in different way.

Many reviewers complain that this movie was silly and not as good as others of the genre.

While I do agree, that Netflix is not exactly guaranteed awesomeness all the time.. what were you expecting? When you open a can of ravioli, are you then sad it didn't taste like a gourmet meal? Check your expectations.

I knew what I was gonna get, when I started watching this movie. It was your standard rom-com, with little to remember it by ten years from now. Just some movie that I once watched. But guess what? It entertained me, while I was watching it. And Brooke Shields was playing a cute character.

So just know, that it is not going to be Love Actually and you'll be fine.

The story line was not that great. Benjamin Bratt was great his acting didn't change. However, Brooke Shields was AWEFUL! Her acting was forced and unrealistic and definitely not entertaining.

The supporting characters were more entertaining and if it weren't for them the movie would be a total bust. I like the idea of the story but it truly lacked depth and in Brooke Shields case solid acting. She tried to hard and it didn't work.

The only reason that I am giving this movie a four is because there were more actors and actresses with good acting and moved the story along than not this is for them.

When you watch a rom com you can nearly expect what's going to happen, this is no different. However the plot is utter ridiculous even by rom com standards. Most of the actors have no chemistry and the production is choppy to say the least. Brooke Shields isnt bad, Rachael Harris (Lucifer) has some good lines, Wilson Cruz (Star Trek Discovery) has some good lines too. Miranda Cosgrove and Sean Teale (the bride and groom in the movie) have zero chemistry. Im not even sure why Chad Michael Murray's character Will was even necessary for this movie. The best part of the whole film is the beautiful scenery. Most of the film is utter cringeworthy stuff. Save yourself 90 mins and watch something else.
